Harry's GPS/OBD Buddy

Harry's GPS/OBD Buddy is a versatile trip computer and GPS / OBD data monitor. The trip computer records distance and time traveled, and calculates average speeds. Using the navigation module from Harry's GPS Suite, GPS/OBD Buddy will furthermore forecast arrival times using waypoints.

In addition to standard iPhone GPS functionality, GPS/OBD Buddy supports a huge set of external GPS and OBD sensors. Accessing these sensors directly, GPS/OBD Buddy gives you a detailed view not available in any other app.

Like all applications from Harry's GPS Suite, Harry's GPS/OBD Buddy uses our advanced GPS Engine. We offer Harry's GPS Buddy as a technology demo for Harry's GPS Suite for free. In case you want to do more with the data shown, check out one of the Harry's LapTimer editions.
